1000 New Wind Jobs On Way To Grimsby
It's after Dong Energy announced plans for a new offshore wind farm.
Around a thousand construction jobs are set to be created in Grimsby as Dong Energy announces a new offshore wind farm off Lincolnshire coast.
Construction is set to start on the £2bn 91 turbine Race Bank Offshore Wind development next year.
Samuel Leupold, Executive Vice President at DONG Energy, said:
"I’m very excited about the fact that we can start building the Race Bank offshore wind farm, which will supply green electricity to more than 400,000 British households. The Race Bank offshore wind farm is yet another enabler for the growth of the offshore wind supply chain in UK, and the project will create jobs in the UK at all levels of the supply chain.
"The size of this project will enable us to utilize the economies of scale to continue to drive down cost of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. This is a must win battle and we are getting one step closer with the decision to build this offshore wind farm.”
